RAM preview stops short of work area
Hey guys, did some searching and found a few related topics to this but no definite answer. I’m doing a fairly simple animation synched to some audio, and as i’m trying to preview the first 10 or 15 seconds of my piece the RAM preview keeps stopping short of the work area. It stops at 8:19 everytime instead of going to he end of the work area at 14s, but the images aren’t large and there’s nothing other than a fade and pan happening. any ideas? using AE 6.5 on a pc, thanks.

Hi Chris,
I think you got the max out of your RAM. Try previewing at a lower resolution or using the “Region of Interest”
feature.Salut.

Yeppers. You’re out of physical RAM. Either stock up on more or dedicate a non-project essential HDD as your virtual RAM drive.
We’ve got a single dedicated SCSI RAID comprised of 4 older 36GB Ultra 320 drives on a new GigaPC PCI Express card and it’s literally the same preview speed as our older PC400 RAM machine and we’ve created short-work of projects that necessitated 2 minute previews without a lot of waiting. It’s not even close to the newer DDR3 RAM we use in all of the newer machines, but if you don’t like dropping coin every few months for the lastest itteration of RAM module, it’s a simple solution providing you have a few parts around.
It’s a bit more costly than adding more physical RAM, but you can NEVER have too much…and until we go to a completely 64 bit environment (or 128 bit as is anticipated in a few years) this is one of the few ways to get as much functioning RAM as you want.

Thanks guys. I don’t do a lot of video yet here at work so don’t know that I can add much to this machine for now but it’s good to know. appreciate the info.

How much RAM will AE recognize? I have 2 gigs with space for more. How much can I use?
